Sweet and Spicy Party Pecans
"This recipe for sweet and spicy party pecans is inspired by my mom. She’s been making them for years, and all of her friends and family couldn’t be happier about it. For the record, I like to call them “Naughty & Nice Nuts” because it makes me laugh every time, but if you’re looking for something a little more G-rated, you can just go with “Party Pecans” Please let me know if you give these party pecans a try at your next soirée!"
